Yes yes it was the Queens Head they even have it on the web

mind you I still prefer their 70s 8os decor, but I suppose people are more into wining and dining these days
All Adelaide pubs I have been too have been good.
THE SOONER MELWAYS STREET DIRECTORYS COVER ALL AUSTRALIAN CITIES THE BETTER, they make it so much easier to find a pub, this UBD Adelaide I use is a total disgrace
Thanks again for remonding me of the pub.

you may be thinking of the Dan OConnell or the Wellington in North Adelaide off the main drag, or the Queens Head
most pubs in North Adelaide are good, Royal Oak, Oxford, Archer
I second that. Adelaide has some great pubs, and most haven't had their souls destroyed by pokies. Plus, most half-decent pubs there have at least one Coopers on tap.
You can't go past the Austral in Rundle Street. It was the first pub to have Coopers on tap.
If you're in Geelong (
) the National (Nash) near the top of the hill in Moorabool Street is pretty good. They even have their own noodle bar and sell dim sims from a steamer at the bar as bar snacks!
Cheers,

Yes I am in Geelong a bit mainly to watch footy, I do know The Clarendon, Valley Inn (when it was run by Darren Flanigan), Lord Of the Isles (RUINED by pokies), even walked to the Elepahnt and Castle after the footy once as I liked the name and it was on the Melways, But have never been to National for some reason.
Quite surprising it is 3 storys high and stands out like dogs balls on its site., but I have never been there, so mark it down for my next Geelong expedition!!
